Goer said that this is u question which Interests nil of n, and although 1 have given it a good deal of attention, nnd thought out several schemes, I must confess that It Is still it very foggy subject, one that we do not very readily see through. 1 have used poison with Mime success, and kept dogs when I thuight they were of good service, nnd yet 1 have paid a heavy per cent, to keep some carnivorous nni mats, nnd at hint I have come to the conclusion that I hnvolost more from dogs than from wolves. In this dls- cusslon I nm ftlwiut to insert that it Is better to kill all the doi: and fence against tho wolves, or both. A good picket fence will protect Mieep from the Incursions r nil eartiivorouMinl- mills in this country large enough to kill sheep. Much n fence can be built for seventy-llvo eenU n rod, and n g(KMl rail fence is worth from 00 to 70 cents, and any sheop-mNcr would like to Insure the safety of his Hock by paying mi extra ten cents a rod on his outside fencing.

Near Ids farm, tho hounds hud found eight wolf pups in one led, near Mr. Geer's farm, and may be on It. Mr. milliard's dog had found nine more, nil of which were destroyed in u few minutes, and he could not help but think that this was it great service to every man In this county who keeps sheep. The fact that run-about dog.s kill sheep is no argument, hccnuo such dogs, ioV a general tiling, are of no consequence in the chase, and are no! to bo counted in the nte.uH for destroying wolves.
